Let's make this birthday one to remember.

66 years old (Born on December 11, 1958)

Happy Birthday, Lisa Morton! The master of spooky storytelling and the encyclopedia queen herself. Your eerie tales continue to haunt readers' dreams (lucid or otherwise), and we hope today's birthday celebrations are suitably mysterious—though hopefully with fewer ghosts than "The Castle of Los Angeles!"

From stirring chills in your Bram Stoker-winning short story “Tested” to becoming our trusted Halloween expert year after delightfully frightful year, you've captured fans far beyond California's sunny shores. May each new chapter keep you creatively inspired—and may all your future nightmares be filled only with friendly spirits offering cake rather than creeps!
